Here are comments we’ve received from students who have completed the online SEM course:

“This was a wonderful course. I had read an in-depth book on SEM and EDS but this was organized much better than the book and helped me to organize my thoughts as well. Thanks!”

“It was a series of great presentations. The instructors were thorough with their presentations and explained the content in the most comprehensible way. I really enjoyed the course. Thank you.”

“I have already used what I have learned to greatly improve my SEM images.”
